  1. There was no beating me back in the day mate, I moved about quicker than a monkey.
  2. I'd never guess who the last bit was aimed at, from you, Bolam?
  3. The PRC are a brutally wicked bunch, they made it legal to organ harvest back in the 1980's. I've read that the regime force people to consent to having their organs harvested. 'We' want cheap so we turn a blind eye.
  4. PRC, that's got to be the biggest lie ever. Look at what they are doing to the Uighurs, rounding them up in concentration camps, harvesting their body parts, it was only a few weeks ago 13 tons of human hair (for wig making) was seized on its way to the USA. The Donald put sanctions on the nasty barstewards because he can put pressure on them. They look at us for what we are... A tiny little island in the middle of the drink. While we all still want cheap PRC will thrive, time for a rethink, I can't see it happening mind.
  5. Not at all, there was no great shakes there tonight but it is Tuesday. He did 17 covers and he's got three of the 4 letting rooms taken. People seem to be getting on, getting on.
  6. Funny that, our kid has been in the hospitality/pub trade most of his life. He's just taken another pub due to relocating, he's done away with Sky TV, BT, the pool table, and dartboard the saving on Sky and BT come in at £1,500/month. He's altered the menu and he's doing just fine so he tells me, I'll post up later what it's like in there this evening when I get back. Last Thursday night and Saturday afternoon when I was there, there were plenty of people about.
  7. Part of my username here is due to buying a Bedford Rascal tipper when we bought the bungalow and needed to clear the ground where a proper tipper couldn't get, best money I ever spent. Carried the weight, and squeezed it in most places.
  8. Believe it or not, he jacked it, not thrown off... surprisingly. T'is a funny clip.
  9. Really, I thought that the general consensus is 'junk' food is more expensive than 'good' food. I think a lot of people eat crap because they are lazy, not because it's cheap.
  10. Yes, if it was clear across the board that would be fine, but when I can sit in pubs, restaurants and many other places for hours without a face covering why do I need one to pay for my diesel, a task that takes a few minutes. Can you see where it falls down?, if you haven't eaten the crayons could you draw me a picture of the difference.
  11. Oh I don't know, I've got away with it for 25 years...
  12. A nicer bloke than John you won't meet... that said I've never worked for him... Good luck finding the right person, John.
  13. It gets better, our kid recently took a pub that's got 4 letting rooms upstairs, wait for it Mr J. He's been told that he has to quarantine toilet rolls between let's because it can't be sanitised?
  14. All right for you to say, you're used to wearing those dodgy masks with that lady you she once a month.
  15. Everyone else? I'm in the Staffordshire moorlands ATM, I've been into Leek (market town) today, I'd say it was about 50-50 on people wearing masks. I have got a couple but I won't be wearing them unless I'm asked to. I did wear one when asked at the bakers, I was fiddling/adjusting the bleeding thing all the time, touching my face, which I believe isn't a good idea. Personaly I think it's a croc, but if I have wear one to purchase what I need so be it.
  16. My mistake, must have been the paraffin we used in the lamps that put us over.
  17. 4 ton on a seven n half!? When I was throwing cones 350x1 meter cones was 3.5 ton, throw some night lights on you'd be over. I might be behind the times, but 4 ton on a 7.5T?
  18. I've told this before, at the same lads funeral only those of us in the lead cars could gather around the grave, when it came to the dirt throwing about 200 people passed, or mingled with us. You tell me how it works.
  19. This is where it fell down for me, my mate died in hospital a few weeks back. We were in n out of there with all sorts of BS excuses, "we've brought him some fresh underwear", "he needs his phone charger", any old bollox to get in there. Not once were we asked/told to wear a face covering.
  20. I tell ya what, yam a proper rebel.
  21. Learn something new everyday, sounds like your lot are good livers. That's not to say you'll have a good liver.
  22. K Johnson MBE.
  23. It's crackers, I went to Tesco yesterday there were signs all over saying you must have a face covering from 24th. I spoke to an old lass I know who works there, I asked her if she's got to wear a face covering all day... her reply... no, it's up to us if we want to wear one.
  24. I'm away tomorrow and my van is playing up again so I tried to hire a car, the sticking point is my driving licence went out of date in April, I knew this so I sent off for a new licence in March, I still haven't received it. None of the hire companies will touch me. I've ended up buying a little motor off a mate which I will sell when I get back. I know lockdown threw everything out of shape, but you'd think the DVLA would have something in place. I got a check code from them, which shows my licence as not processed, that's useful!
  25. All the better for talking with you, bud. I'm away from Monday for 10 days in the Staffordshire morelands. Still ain't got my own dog, the farm Jack is a regular visitor mind.
